Bearsted has a good mix of older cottages around the village and larger detached houses on the outskirts, and the electrical work we do here reflects that range. Garden lighting is a common request. Properties with established gardens and patios where the owners want to actually use the outside space in the evenings, not just look at it through the window. We also see a lot of older fuseboxes in the village properties, the kind that were installed when the house was built and have not been touched since.
We were called to a farmhouse on the edge of the area that had been through several rounds of work over the years, none of it joined up. The consumer unit was a patchwork of different additions, and the security lighting covered only a fraction of the property. We replaced the consumer unit properly and installed security lighting that covered the full perimeter. The owner's main comment afterwards was that they wished they had done it sooner.

Can you install garden lighting on an established garden without causing damage?
This is something that will need to be explored over a site visit. Depending on what you need, sometimes we are able to do it without any disruption other times the garden need to be dagged.
My fusebox is original to the house. Does it need replacing?
If it is a rewirable Wylex or MEM unit it has no RCD protection, which is a safety gap worth closing. We can assess it and give you a straight answer on whether it needs doing now or can wait.
What kind of CCTV do you install?
We install Hik-Vision wired systems. More reliable than wireless and not dependent on your Wi-Fi signal. Cameras can be set up for remote viewing from a phone so you can check the feed when you are away.
How long does garden lighting installation take?
For a typical garden it is usually one day. Larger or more complex layouts may take longer. I will let you know during the quote visit.
How quickly can you get to Bearsted?
Same day to two working days for most jobs. Call and my PA will confirm.
Whether it is the garden, the fusebox, or the security lighting, or all three. Call and I will give you an honest view of what makes sense for your property.
